2007 North Americans report
Here is an update from WRSC, A class North American championship headquarters.
Planning is well under way and all indications suggest it will be a very successful regatta.
The NOR, entry and accommodation forms have been posted on the USACA web site http://www.usaca.info/ under upcoming regatta's. If at all possible please register and send your entries in to Mark Bellerman OR sign up online at www.sailcrac.com under the A cat nationals tab OR contact Tony Arends .
It is important to get everyone signed up and committed early for our planning.
West river sailing club is pleased to announce that the Westfield Annapolis mall has made a kind donation and will be named title sponsor of the event.
We all know this event is to crown a National champion and gain valuable fleet experience for the 2007 world championships. One World championship qualifying slot is up for grabs to the highest finisher that has not already pre-qualified for the 2007 worlds.
In addition to competitive racing, all efforts will be devoted to staging an event that can offer every competitor a good reason to attend this regatta.
Preparation is underway to have a respected sailing coach document the days' sailing action, then discuss his notes with the competitors during our post-race debriefs. Velocitek has also made available five GPS units to be placed on boats at random for the purpose of recording GPS tracks. These track will also be used during the debrief to Illustrate the gains and losses made on the race course. Such activities should make this regatta the most educational, enjoyable sailing experience in A cat history.
A photo slide show will run daily and each competitor will receive a photos CD at the end of the event. Reprints and photo enlargements will be available at a very reasonable price.
District report suggest over 30 boats will attend.
District 1 : Bristol has reported that 6-8 boats will attend: Hall, Guck, Gaynor, Atkins, Penfield, Godbey
